.tv Enom raises premium prices

[Len]

I have noticed that some of the premiums I am interested in have had a price hike at Enom. It seems that it was across the board as even those that were $100 are now $120,(doesn't seem like much but in real terms it is 20%).

Looks like the best prices are at Name.com now......unless anyone knows better.

Let's also keep in mind that when Enom lowered their prices to compete in the price war, they chose to sell some names AT COST or BELOW COST. They simply have chosen to modify their pricing to where it was before... leaving Name.com as the cheapest premium reseller (for now).

IMHO & AFAIK: there is no conspiracy, as some people would have you believe.

I asked Name.com to price match ENOM per their "agreement" when the prices were lower. They told me they couldn't do it because it was their wholesale price and they wanted wholesale +3%.

Enom have just reverted to their "normal" prices which appear to have nice margins (or really bad ones if everyone goes to name.com!).

As far as I'm concerned they can do whatever they like. I find it amusing that someone complains they raised prices when a lot of people are paying for the sole purpose of flipping.

I don't think that a lot of people realize that premiums are available purely because they start at GoDaddy and it just shows up as "taken".

But that's more opinion than fact.
